Right.

Subject of this email thread is tied to wether WebID should be...:

 a) the W3C spec generally for Agent IDs - i.e. exact same as NetID
 b) the W3C spec for Agent IDs usable only where Turtle is spoken
    (others can call their Agent IDs NetID or BingoCards or whatever)
 c) the W3C spec for Agent IDs usable only where JSON(-LD) is spoken
    (others can call their Agent IDs NetID or BingoCards or whatever)

In other words, do we want WebID simple or easy?

 * simple enough to be broadly usable

or

 * easy usable by constraining scope

Amen.
